Mr. Speaker, near the end of her speech the member talked about Premier Tobin of Newfoundland coming to speak to the Bloc and to explain the situation. I am sure the member and all other members would agree that the Government of Newfoundland has conducted an extraordinary lobby of members of Parliament for support for this amendment.
Would the member care to speculate or hazard a guess as to why the Newfoundland government did not participate or campaign during the referendum?
